What is FleetSmart ?(ecoENERGY for fleets)
A program at Natural Resources Canada to help commercial & institutional fleets reduce fuel consumption & emissions through
improved energy efficient practices.
Programs for on-road vehicles> Trucks – highway, forestry, urban> Bus – highway coach, transit, school buses> Urban – municipalities, utilities, light-duty fleets (ie. taxi, courier)
8
How do we do it?
• Training & Education
• Information on Technologies
• Idling awareness campaigns
• Industry Partnerships
FleetSmart
9
Why SmartDRIVER?
• Driver – the most important on-board technology• Up to 35% difference between the ‘best’ and the ‘poorest’
driver• The investment in
fuel-efficient technology
will not pay off if the driver
is not trained to drive efficiently

Fuel Management 101
1-day workshop for fleet / operations How to make a fuel plan
o Benchmarko Analyze, evaluate and improve
NEW (in development):
Web Tool - load/track mixed fleets on-line SmartMechanic - targeting mechanics - both light and heavy duty vehicles To
encourage proper vehicle maintenance to reduce fuel consumption and GHG emissions
Energy Efficiency Integration Initiative – a five phase initiative to have EE an integral part of earning a commercial operators license in 10 provinces & 3 territories.
FleetSmart initiatives

Idling Reduction Awareness
14
Awareness - Idling
15
Measuring Impacts
Driver Training factors:
o # of drivers trainedo Drivers/vehicleo Average annual vehicle travelo GHG emissions/kmo Expected impact/retention
(studies)o averaging 5 – 8 % across all
vehicle groups
Idling factors:
o # of participating truck stops / bus visits
o Duration of campaigno Retentiono Average idling reduction hourso Fuel consumption at
idleo GHG emissions factor
16
Industry Partners
• All major vehicle associations in Canada
Canadian Trucking Alliance Private Motor Truck Council of Canada Canadian Industrial Transportation Association Motor Coach Canada Canadian Urban Transit Association
• MOU – US EPA: SmartWay Transport Partnership
17
Canada - U.S. Freight Movement Cooperation
Frequent movement of cross-border freight requires collaboration with U.S. EPA SmartWay
MOU between FleetSmart and SmartWay in 2005 to
share training tools and information
SmartWay adaptation of FleetSmart’s SmartDriver
FleetSmart’s adaptation of FleetModel
Share outreach & collateral materials
Host jointly a major transportation efficiency
conference (Same Roads, New Challenges – 2008)
